Hi everybody, I'm the creator of Astrofox. Surprised to see this here, but I'll be glad to answer any questions.<p>Astrofox has been my side project for several years now. It's basically my playground for trying out things like Electron, React and WebGL. It's open-source, MIT licensed, and totally free to use.
Found this today when looking for something to turn short podcast clips into something more visual. Anyone have any other open source tools they like? I've heard of using ffmpeg (<a href="https://lukaprincic.si/development-log/ffmpeg-audio-visualization-tricks" rel="nofollow">https://lukaprincic.si/development-log/ffmpeg-audio-visualiz...</a>).<p>Youtube video of Astrofox:

Slightly reminiscent of old school demo scene stuff. Or perhaps like a static version of WinAMP? I want more scrollers to greet peeps in trippy space tunnels! xD<p>Digression about the Atari demo scene: Amazingly they still keep cranking them out! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QginSr9V7A" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QginSr9V7A</a>
This is fantastic - will be using in the next Dystopian Disco mixtape series<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64Mxban54mM&list=PLFyd_83HK5quh7uUjSvtxF0eAi0Mtte9N&index=6" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64Mxban54mM&list=PLFyd_83HK5...</a><p>Is it possible to set the effects run time for a set period & if so would it be possible to have the effects modulated?
Looks incredible, I could really use this I've been using stock footage for my music videos with various effects/transitions. Can I overlay the effects over videos or only static images? I already have a ton of ideas.<p><a href="https://youtu.be/k2NAtIo8Wcs" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/k2NAtIo8Wcs</a><p><a href="https://youtu.be/BRMywh9yHWY" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/BRMywh9yHWY</a><p><a href="https://youtu.be/-89K59xrYmY" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/-89K59xrYmY</a><p><a href="https://youtu.be/TCw7Bcwpsfw" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/TCw7Bcwpsfw</a>
I also recommend Le Biniou an open - source, user - friendly, powerful music visualization & VJing tool <a href="https://biniou.net/" rel="nofollow">https://biniou.net/</a>
I made a similar product on iOS [1]. It’s not there yet in terms of polish, but soon it will be.<p>[1] <a href="https://podbuddy.app/" rel="nofollow">https://podbuddy.app/</a>
@mcao - this is fantastic! Finally a free and a really robust replacement for Headliner and such. It's so great for podcasts. Thanks!<p><i>EDIT</i> I now realize it's been out for 2 years now and never heard of it before!
The one thing that I would like to see added to this would be the implementation of IO streams for audio and video. I'd love to find a piece of software that could be selected as the sole output for either a system's audio or a specific application, keep a buffer of the audio stream for processing, create an AV output, and then allow that to either be captured or streamed to something like OBS or VLC. Realistically, I can see latency being a bit of an issue of course. Audio fidelity may also take a hit if you exceed the buffer's capacity, but trying to implement a direct passthrough for the audio may desync the it from the visualizer.<p>Maybe it's just a pipe dream, but has anyone created/worked with a project like that before? I'd be interested in seeing what's out there.
I just recalled windows media player animations seeing this.
(Is this thing still kicking ? I wouldn't know. I ditched Windows quite some time ago)
